* arm64: update 32-bit kuser helpers to ARMv8Robin Murphy2013-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates the barrier semantics in the kuser helper functions to take advantage of the ARMv8 additions to AArch32, which are guaranteed to be available in situations where these functions will be called. Note that this slightly changes the cmpxchg functions in that they are no longer necessarily full barriers if they return 1. However, the documentation only states they include their own barriers "as needed", not that they are obligated to act as a full barrier for the caller.

* arm64: big-endian: don't treat code as data when copying sigret codeMatthew Leach2013-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the sigreturn compat code is copied to an offset in the vectors table. When using a BE kernel this data will be stored in the wrong endianess so when returning from a signal on a 32-bit BE system, arbitrary code will be executed. Instead of declaring the code inside a struct and copying that, use the assembler's .byte directives to store the code in the correct endianess regardless of platform endianess.

* arm64: 32-bit (compat) applications supportWill Deacon2012-09-17
This patch adds support for 32-bit applications. The vectors page is a binary blob mapped into the application user space at 0xffff0000 (the AArch64 toolchain does not support compilation of AArch32 code). Full compatibility with ARMv7 user space is supported. The use of deprecated ARMv7 functionality (SWP, CP15 barriers) has been disabled by default on AArch64 kernels and unaligned LDM/STM is not supported. Please note that only the ARM 32-bit EABI is supported, so no OABI compatibility.
